“Why are you following me?”

The clown had been following Ming Shu for some time now. He leaped and jumped as he walked and really looked liked a funny clown.

“You don’t have a team. I don’t have a team, either.”

“So?”

“We can form a team,” the clown said happily.

Ming Shu smiled and rejected him. “I don’t want to form a team with you.”

The clown continued to smile. “Why not? I am very powerful.”

Ming Shu laughed. “You are too ugly.”

It will lower my status.

If I walk together with such a psychopath, I will be taken as a psychopath too.

The clown looked down at himself and then raised his head after a while. “Don’t you feel that this is like a fairytale?”

“A dark fairytale?” F**k, a psychopath is talking to me about dark fairytales.

The clown: “…”

Ming Shu checked the map. There were many black and white dots meeting each other around her. Occasionally, the dots would shimmer and then disappear.

She was in the north of the city now. According to the experience of the Host, the safe spots should be at…

No idea.

The safe spots were randomly placed. There was no pattern to it. It all boiled down to one’s luck.

“You want to find the safe spots so badly?” the clown suddenly said. “Form a team with me and I can take you to a person. It will make finding safe spots much easier.”

Ming Shu tilted her head. Why do you want to form a team with me? Do you know which side I am on?”

“Because you are powerful.” The clown was very practical. “You are on the same side as me.”

The smile in her eyes spread. “How do you know?”

The clown’s level was not as high as hers. How did he know?

The clown made a funny face. “I have my secret weapon. Have you made your decision?”

“Lead the way.”

For snacks!

For the sake of justice!

Even if I have to go to heaven, I will do it.

This was a very tall building. It was covered in a thick layer of dust too and there were pits on the ground. Blood stained the ground.

Corpses would disappear in the city, but the blood would not.

The city would be used many times too so some of this blood was left from the past. After some time passed, this was what they came to look like.

The clown jumped to the entrance of the building and invited Ming Shu excitedly. “Come on, we will arrive soon.”

Ming Shu didn’t move.

The clown tilted his head and looked at her. The next second, something flew out from behind him, aiming directly at the back of his head.

The clown dodged to the side immediately. When he moved, Ming Shu saw that it was a plum blossom dart. However, it was much bigger than a normal plum blossom dart. It was the size of a basin.

The plum blossom dart didn’t hit the clown so it continued moving forward and spun quickly toward Ming Shu.

Ding—

The plum blossom dart knocked into something and slowed down.

After a few seconds, the plum blossom dart fell to the ground.

Ming Shu threw away the metal bar that was already deformed and glanced at the direction the clown was in.

The clown was clapping. He seemed to be cheering for Ming Shu’s performance just now.

Ming Shu: “…” F**k, crazy.

The entrance of the building was really quiet. The person that sneak attacked them didn’t come out. The clown went back to the entrance and hopped his way in.

Ming Shu followed him in. When she went in, the clown was already fighting with someone. By the time Ming Shu came near, the other person had died.

The clown smiled and wiped the blood off his hand. There was a tinge of something sinister on his funny-looking face. “I have taken revenge for you.”

Ming Shu: “…”

The clown might have noticed Ming Shu’s eerie smile and turned to find a way up the building. They couldn’t use any of the facilities in the city so the only way up was the stairs.

The clown found the stairs. Just as he was going to open the door, he suddenly turned and looked at the reception desk.

“There are little bugs hiding behind it. I didn’t realize…” The clown said as he walked towards the reception desk, “Are you all going to come out yourselves or do you need me to go over?”

The people might have been scared by the clown’s murder just now so there was no movement.

The clown saw something and stopped in his tracks. “Aiya, people from the same side again. Not interesting at all. Not interesting.”

The people hiding heard what the clown said and heaved a sigh of relief.

A guy walked out from behind the reception desk. A girl followed him… there were a total of five people.

They were all from the black team.

“Nothing interesting, let’s go.” The clown hopped his way to the stairs.

“Wait!”

Someone called him.

The clown ignored them. These players were all newbies. He didn’t have the time to play with new players now. They were not fun at all.

“Wait…”

The five people chased after them. The clown hopped up the stairs quickly. Ming Shu appeared to be walking casually, but her pace was fast too. She caught up with the clown easily.

The two of them threw the five people off very quickly.

The clown kept walking up until they reached the door leading to the rooftop.

Hot air blew at her. Ming Shu saw the little girl sitting at the rooftop instantly. She was wearing a black lolita dress with stars on it and black lace sewn at the hem.

“Ti Ya.” The clown greeted the little girl enthusiastically.

The little girl called Ti Ya had a cold face and stared at them coldly. Besides this, they couldn’t tell if she welcomed them or hated their approach.

The clown’s relationship with Ti Ya seemed to be really good. He moved forward and talked to her.

Ti Ya didn’t say anything at all. When the clown told her about the safe spots, Ti Ya glanced at Ming Shu coldly. Ming Shu was leaning against the door.

She didn’t say anything and stared at Ming Shu for two whole minutes. Then, she lifted her hand at the clown.

The clown held onto Ti Ya’s hand as they jumped down from the rooftop.

They looked like a queen and her eunuch…

Ming Shu couldn’t see Ti Ya’s level. She was either higher than her… or they were on the same level.

In the Host’s memory, she never met any level-five players before. Hence, Ti Ya should be at the same level as her.

For such a little girl to reach level four, she must be quite powerful.

“Hu hu hu…”

Heavy panting came from behind them. The five people had caught up with them.

The guy that called them took two deep breaths and quickly came forward. He held onto his black-framed glasses. “Hello, we should be on the same side. I just want to ask you a few questions.”

The people they met before this were either new players who didn’t know anything, either…

Or people who were not new but didn’t talk to them at all.

As for the white team, they would attack them the minute they saw each other so they couldn’t have a conversation with them at all.

Although this clown looked weird, Ming Shu looked normal. Hence, he decided to catch up with them and try his luck.

It was difficult to find someone who was not a newbie and looked normal… in this place.

The clown smiled and said, “This is not a school. We are not obligated to answer your questions.”

“We are humans and we are on the same side. There is no loss for you even if you help us.”

“Xi xi…”
